The answer to that question requires a holistic approach: it depends on decisions you will make about your work, your benefits, your home, and more.

By making wise decisions in eight interrelated decision areas, you can make your resources go further and enjoy greater financial well-being in retirement. No matter how big or small your nest egg is, the choices you make now affect your future income.
